508.0. "Holidays on Denmark and Norway" by DRAC::ASUNCION () Tue Jun 02 1992 06:50

    
    
    I'm a colleague from Barcelona (SPAIN) and I'm going to Denmark and
    Norway on holidays during August.
    
    I would like to know some information like:
    
    	- price of oil
    	- price of Motorways
        - if there is cheap hotels (like English "Bed and Breakfast") 
    	- price of hotels
    	- interesting places to visit (in Copenhagen, Oslo and the fjords)
    	- aprox. price of meals
    	- ...
    
    We've heard these two are very expensive countries.
    
    We are going to visit Copenhagen, Oslo and the fjords (Bergen,
    Stavenger).
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Asun Ariza.

508.1Do not despairOSL09::MAURITZDTN(at last!)872-0238; @NWOTue Jun 02 1992 08:5427
    You are right about our two countries being expensive, but all things
    are relative, and some things are more expesnive than others. Even so,
    Norway has had very low inflation the last few years.
    
    I was in Italy during this Easter, and it became clear that many things
    were more expensive there than here (clothing, gasoline(petrol)). I say
    this not as a "tourist", but as I stayed with relatives who live there,
    in a village in Friuli (North). Food, of course, and wine was cheaper
    there (but not, for example, in Venice).
    
    In stead of giving tips, I did a quick "DIR 300-*<return>" command to
    NOTES, and looked at some of the more recent topics here that have a
    lot of replies that you could read. Here is a short list: 345, 347,
    387, 394, 466, 471,... and then I did'nt go furhter. The 345 topic is
    from the summer of 1989, so that is still fairly recent. Some of these
    topics have MANY replies; some of them with really good info. I
    strongly recommend your reading these, then just come back with
    questions (or ask questions within the topic, about anything mentioned
    in one of that topic's replies).
    
    Happy reading; standing by for questions that I MAY have answers to.
    
    (Welcome here in August, by the way---right now we have the warmest
    weather in Europe!!!)

508.2Check with the REAL AUTOMIVIL CLUBCOPCLU::RUDƷط� - when A...Z is not civilized enough!Sat Jun 06 1992 10:3318
    Asun,
    
    If you are a member of the "REAL AUTOMOVIL CLUB" you can get a lot of
    information from Denmark, as they are a sister organization to the
    Danish "FEDERATION OF DANISH MOTORISTS (FDM)", who has several flyers
    about, what is worth visiting, hotels etc.
    
    If you are not a member, send me a mail and I will collect what ever I
    can find and send it to you.
    
    Re. the weather, we are going into week 5 with 25-28�C and no clouds,
    rather unusual in this country. Prehaps it's our reward for not voting
    YES to the central bureaucracy, non-democratic European Union. Remember
    - politicians are there to serve the people and not to rule the
    countries....!
